I understand from others that it is due to the LED anti glare technology mandated to be used by the government.  This shadow or blotch is NOT visible when using the high beams.  When using the low beams the shadow is ALWAYS in the periphery or in front of the driver....but it is there at ALL times.  As a driver, my eyes are drawn to it, taking my eyes off of the traffic or road ahead.  On several occasions I have thought that it was an animal or something. I have had passengers in my vehicle who immediately noticed the same thing and thought that it was a terrible design and would pose a safety hazard.  This shadow is NOT visible on the passenger side.   I have notified Toyota USA and have visited the dealership several times.  I  have had the headlamp replaced with no resolution, so I went back to have the headlight adjusted up and it is still there. I have been told by Toyota USA and dealership that this is a 'characteristic' of the vehicle and has been designed this way and they will not do anything to resolve this issue.  I have done quite a bit of research and understand other Toyota owners are experiencing the same thing. Here are a few other websites where owners are complaining of the same thing:  [XXX]  and [XXX]  and [XXX] ). I feel that this characteristic is a defect or flaw that poses a safety risk since the driver's eyes  are drawn to this 'spot' while driving at night using the low beams.  I did not experience this issue with my previous 2014 Toyota 4-Runner. I really appreciate someone looking into this as I am contemplating selling my brand new vehicle because of it. I have video as well.
